Mexico City Mcdonalds Is Trashed

November 08, 1994

Dozens of masked men attacked a branch of the McDonalds fast food chain in Mexico City on Tuesday, reportedly as a protest against a proposal in California to cut social benefits for illegal Mexican immigrants and their families. Between 30 and 40 assailants broke windows, threw cash registers to the floor, overturned waste baskets and scrawled anti-U.S. grafitti inside the restaurant in the fashionable Zona Rosa area of the capital, Manuel Juarez, McDonalds marketing manager, said.
